-----------------------------------------
Comments: 

- Facility-level information is partly based on data obtained through direct purchase from Statistics Sweden, which is tied with restrictions regarding anonymity. To ensure compliance with these terms, proper facility names names have been removed from the dataset. This does not, however, affect the replicability of the reported results.

- Statistical analysis was executed with Stata/SE 17.0 for Mac (Intel 64-bit). Required packages include spmap (v. 1.3.0)
